  Dependable - 2005 Suzuki Forenza
  By spainishkat - February 22 - 6:03 pm

  We purchased this car for our son who was going to college in 2008. We have never had any problems. It is not a sports car or a chick magnet. If you want a dependable gas saving car this is it.

  Great car for the money - 2005 Suzuki Forenza
  By Jason - February 19 - 5:50 am

  When you get down to it, it is hard to beat the Forenza. Power everything, reliable, good handling, and plenty of cash to spare. Far better then the Spectra which doesnt even come with A/C standard unless you move up to the EX trim and Honda quality for less then its Korean counterparts....ie Hyundai and Kia.

  Pretty Good For The Money! - 2005 Suzuki Forenza
  By Money Maker - February 14 - 3:56 pm

  At first I doubted Suzukis quality but I was wrong. This car has been for the most part reliable. Ive had few minor issues but nothing major such as recalls but other than that not much of anything. I found out GM Daewoo created these cars for Suzuki and I guessed theres a pile of junk but Ive seen much improvement through Daewoo. For the price you get a decent car with a good amount of features.

  Very Satisfied - 2005 Suzuki Forenza
  By AlanJ - October 21 - 3:56 am

  I bought this car almost two years ago and am closing in on the 36,000 mile mark. It had a few minor initial quality problems that the dealer happily fixed in the first month. Since then its been flawless. It is a great value, and is comfortable for a big tall guy like me. It hauls a big load without complaining and it has a great stereo and nice styling. Its handling, acceleration, and fuel economy are adequate, but not stellar. High speed highway cruising is fine though. The automatic transmission shifted harshly at first, but a simple reprogram has it shifting like butter. Overall this is a nice car, I wish it was more popular.

  Best Wagon for Your Buck - 2005 Suzuki Forenza
  By Tato - September 25 - 12:56 pm

  My experience with this wagon has been marvelous. It is sturdy and very reliable on long trips. It is the best value for the money compared to any other brand. It is very economical it gives me 31.27 mpg on highway. It is highly underrated.

  Forenza "S" - 2005 Suzuki Forenza
  By Barry - September 14 - 4:33 pm

  The car isnt too fast on accelration, it crusises well at 70-80 mph. I mdisappointed the "S" model I bought didnt come with cruise. The next model up is well worth the money, I also felt I got a great deal on the car. $12,000 for the 05 model and the selling dealer told me he still made $2000. on the sale.

  I love this car - 2005 Suzuki Forenza
  By Heather - August 3 - 5:46 am

  I love this car. I bought it new in 2005, I saw it on the delivery truck and told the salesman that was the one I wanted. Most people say that was a gamble but I know how great Suzukis are. I also had a Suzuki Swift that has over 200,000 miles on it and has only had to have oil changes brake pads and such. I tell everyone buy Suzuki.

  Bad Tranny, Shocks, & Gas Mileage, but Good Looks - 2005 Suzuki Forenza
  By Kate2Dance - July 10 - 2:40 am

  I bought this car to commute to work and got decent gas mileage on highway, but horrible in town mileage of less than 20 MPG. At less than 30,000 miles, the transmission went bad and the rear shocks are knocking and rattling! Note this car was purchased to commute to work via a one hour drive on the interstate, so most of its mileage is highway! With a bad tranny and rear shocks at under 30,000 miles (most of which were highway) and very poor in town gas mileage, youre better off buying something else! Im buying a Honda next time, or anything else, for that matter!

  Wow talk about bang for my buck!! - 2005 Suzuki Forenza
  By Richard Steere - May 21 - 10:43 am

  Lets start with options that are worth my money. I went with the base model and theres nothing base about it! Almost power everything, an unbeatable warranty, after I compared it to Hyundais. Its dependable, comfortable and affordable, I couldnt ask for more in quality and in service! Thank you Suzuki!
